Wolfblood PCs

Theme

This story is true.

The Pure have held this land as long as the Tribes remember; the burning of witches in the past can easily be linked in oral history to the workings of the Fire-Touched. The spirits speak of this region in whispers of sanctuary and a return to the "natural" way of things. This is a place where they can run free, unmolested by the Forsaken who police the borders.

This has been the way it has been for ages. While some few Forsaken have clawed out an existence here, it is only those who do not present a threat to the Pure that can be said to "thrive". Wolf-blooded families often send their children away to grow up with werewolves in safety; the few Urdaga who make Fallcoast or Hanging Hills their home do so with an incredibly low profile, often sacrificing many opportunities for Renown in order to maintain their anonymity.

But the time for laying low is drawing to a close. The need for insurgency has pushed the Tribes of the Moon of the surrounding areas to send out a call to draw others in. It is time for the history of the Pure to come to an end. Time for the Forsaken to reclaim this land, to make rights to the hisil before something truly monstrous comes from it.

The current theme of Werewolf is focused on insurgency, reclaiming the birthright of the Forsaken, and repairing the damage neglect does to the Shadow.

Brother vs. Brother - Most commonly, werewolves find themselves fighting with each other directly. Urdaga and Anshega both hate one another, almost as a matter of course. The Anshega have not viewed the Forsaken of the region as much of a threat, but as the Urdaga rise in power and actually become a threat, how will the Anshega respond? How will the Forsaken push to regain the territory from the Pure? It is, afterall, a sin to kill another Uratha.

Redemption - Both the Pure and the Forsaken show a desire to bring their lost brothers into the fold. While this mentality is not necessarily common in either faction, it is a sub-theme that runs very strongly in some characters. The Pure will be making an effort to bring the Forsaken into the fold, to teach them the error of their ways. Will the Forsaken work to do the same?

Sins of the Father - Father Wolf hunted the Border Marches and kept the spirit world in check - when he went insane, the balance of the hisil and the flesh world fell out and things were bad. This is what pushed the First Born to rise up against him, for the good of the world. The Forsaken then took on the Father's duties - how will they exhibit this in a region where the hisil has never learned to fear them, where spirits run wild, and where the hisil itself has grown powerful and wild.

Unknown Horrors - What horrors lie in wait in the hisil that has never been tended? What damage has been done with the neglect of the Anshega?

Additional XP:

+1 XP for each Renown Story you post. So if you have Wisdom 3 and Glory 2, you could get 5xp total out of this. This is a permanent and retroactive change.

+1 XP for recruiting into the sphere. If the player/character mentions you in their approval job, you get +1 XP. If they stick around for longer then 1 month from approval (Which hopefully everyone will!) you can an additional +3 XP.

+3 XP for recruiting into the sphere if the person joins a pack other then yours. This is so people recruit for the sphere...and not just for their own plot. +3 XP in addition if they stick around longer then a month.

+1 XP for a log of a scene involving discussing the sphere plot, or roleplay focused around the sphere plot.
